Sick Of You

Part Of Your Scene

Danny

I will
I will, always want what I can't have

and you will always...be that 

I keep replaying the words that were said
the looks that you gave
the back of your head
as you walked away
You know that I would drop everything 
to have the back of your head 
in my hands again

You don't care, you're pushed further away
when I'm there.

I Will

Westbound Bart was written after a long streak of writer’s block. After graduating UCSC and deciding not to teach math, I floated around the bay area for about a year or so. One night I was staying on a friend’s couch in Berkeley, complaining to him about my writer’s block and he knew that I liked to write about real life incidents and human nature. He suggested I check out the Tuesday night Karaoke at Amnesia Bar in SF. He told me about all the interesting characters that haunt that place and how I was sure to find a song there. I headed out solo, hopped on the BART, and the song picks up from there. I got the song and the writer’s block was gone. ~ Craigie

I’m moving on, but I’ll still think about you
When I hear Willie Nelson sing of embers in the rain
And I was wrong, but what good are convictions when you’re
Grasping at the fire pretending you don’t feel the pain?
It’s such a shame, shame

I’ve got a cup. I fill it up with whiskey in the hopes of drowning out your memory
And oh it works, especially in the morning when the bright lights and the headaches and your face are all I see
I tell my friends, they oughta set me up, and when I stumble into church I lie, pretend I’m finding peace
I got a line. I practice it in private, so when people ask about me I’ll somehow make them believe

I’m moving on, but I’ll still think about you
When I hear Willie Nelson sing of embers in the rain
And I was wrong, but what good are convictions when you’re
Grasping at the fire pretending you don’t feel the pain?
It’s such a shame, shame

I take it slow, cause sympathy’s a virtue that I ain’t got the energy to fake
I know in time, I’ll feel awful stupid for this hopeless psyche I can’t seem to break
I tell my friends, that they should just be patient, let me get over my grief, I know my heart’ll heal this ache
I’ve heard your line, and I know that it’s bullshit, but I’m happy that you’re tryin’ cause Lord knows I can relate

I’m moving on, but I’ll still think about you
When I hear Willie Nelson sing of embers in the rain
And I was wrong, but what good are convictions when you’re
Grasping at the fire pretending you don’t feel the pain?
It’s such a shame, shame

I’ll hit rock bottom soon enough then come back better than before
And when I’m finally tired of being tough the next love will be so much more…but for now

I’m moving on, but I’ll still think about you
When I hear Willie Nelson sing of embers in the rain
And I was wrong, but what good are convictions when you’re
Grasping at the fire pretending you don’t feel the pain?
It’s such a shame, shame
